Much of the day-to-day work of law firms and legal departments, regardless of size or practice area, revolves around documents: creating them, sharing them, storing them, and locating them. Traditional paper documents are cumbersome and frustrating to manage. Aside from the costs associated with printing, shipping, and storing the documents, there’s also an enormous efficiency loss involved in organizing and searching paper files.

A paperless practice offers numerous practical benefits, including reducing operating expenses, making documents more secure and accessible, and allowing firms to more efficiently manage legal documents through their complete life cycle.
